New Yorkers are allowed to head back to work Monday, though many employees are not expected to show up in droves, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Real-estate services firm CBRE Group Inc., the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, says many of its New York City clients don’t plan on being back in the office full-time until at least Labor Day.
Tech giant Twitter, advertising and marketing company Interpublic Group of Cos., and Omnicom Group, an American global media, marketing and corporate communications holding company, are still allowing employees to work from home.
Twitter, which in May told employees they could work from home indefinitely, won’t reopen its New York office on Monday.
About half of JP Morgan Chase & Co.’s trading staff is expected back Monday, and just 10 percent of Goldman Sachs Group’s employees are coming back this week. Citigroup Inc. expects about 5 percent of its staff to return this week.
New York enters Phase 2 of its reopening plan Monday, which will allow outdoor dining and allow barbershops and hair salons to reopen.
“Yesterday, less than 1 percent of COVID-19 tests conducted in the state were positive, which means we continue to be on the right path toward defeating the virus,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Sunday.
”The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over, and as we reopen New York safely and incrementally, the state government will continue to provide timely information so that New Yorkers can make educated decisions for themselves and their families.”
